Best & worst cars for owner satisfaction

How owners really feel about their cars

Published: November 2013

To pin down how owners really feel about their current car, we ask a simple question: “Considering all factors (price, reliability, comfort, enjoyment, etc.), would you get this car if you had it to do all over again?” For each class, the vehicles garnering the largest percentage of “definitely yes” votes get the award for “most satisfying,” and those with the fewest “definitely yes” votes are consigned to the “least satisfying” bin.

That analysis, which focused on 2011 through 2014 models, was based on about 340,000 survey responses from Consumer Reports’ magazine and online subscribers.
